(a) An acidified solution of potassium manganate(VII) contains MnO4– ions, and can oxidise bromide ions, Br–, to bromine. It was found that 23.90 cm3 of 0.200 mol dm–3 potassium manganate(VII) solution was required to oxidise a solution containing 2.46 g of sodium bromide dissolved in dilute sulphuric acid. Calculate the ratio of the number of moles of manganate(VII) ions reacting to the number of moles of bromide ions reacting. Hence write the equation for the oxidation of bromide ions by manganate(VII) ions in acid solution.
